The history of British architecture since 1930 has been one of
frequently heated controversy between the old idiom and the new and
between various social and technological viewpoints. The battle is
by no means over; indeed it is spreading to wider issues and
outside what was previously a largely professional sphere. A book
like this one, which spells out the issues and describes how they
arose, is therefore of interest not only to architects and students
of architecture but to the growing general public concerned about
the man-made environment. Professor Jackson looks at the buildings
of the period as the products of peculiar sets of circumstances, as
works of art and in terms of what their designers were trying to
achieve. And since there is much worth studying in the critical
zone that separates architectural claims and hopes from social and
aesthetic reality, this book offers both essential background
material and a fascinating narrative that will in itself be a
subject of controversy.
